Other things affected by the NHL lockout

NHL lockout effects

After a 16-hour negotiation session, the NHL and players reached a tentative agreement on a CBA. But 113 days without hockey effected more than the game itself. Here are a few other areas that were being impacted.

With very little or nothing to do, NHL team office and support staff have either had their hours and salary cut back or have lost their jobs altogether. For example, Edmonton Oilers business operations employees Angela Frecon and Tony Bao are now temporarily working with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra while the lockout drags on.

Beer sales are slightly down since October because hockey fans are less likely to frequent bars and restaurants during the NHL lockout.
